and started a colourful pullover for the girl that's cheering up the dreariness...
Pattern: Best Friends Pullover - Julia's Sweater by Kristin Nicholas
Yarn: Nashua Handknits Julia
I've made Gretel once before and I love the pattern and its fabulous cables. The Rialto Aran is a great yarn for stitch definition and would be perfect for any cable project. The Julia yarn is also wonderful - it's a merino, mohair, alpaca blend with a soft and lovely halo and saturated colours. I just realized Ravelry indicates it's now discontinued which is a huge shame. I'm thoroughly enjoying this quick and interesting project.
Also, here's a modelled shot of the wee sweaters I made my niece's sons last month. Are they not the cutest brothers ever?
Stay warm and knit what pleases you.
Gretel, awesome. The colors in that pullover, killer! Those wee guys are big cute. "knit what pleases you", my sentiments exactly. I said almost the same thing in my first post of the year.
